Episode 9 kicked me square in the fucking stomach. WOULDN'T A KIDNAPPING HAVE SUFFICED?!

"You want more suffering with that Waifu?"

>>92447033
The Human Marionette trope works better on friends or siblings. NOT ON FUCKING LOVERS!
>>92446792
Nah, man. Gotta Casca her somehow. Mind break and ego death via body mutilation is the closest to full blown intense forced watch rape Genndy can get. So he's going for it.
Can't wait for Ashi to come out of this a walking vegetable, lacking all memories, with the mentality of a 3 year old. Expect Jack to go back to beard and long hair while he takes care of her and they set up the boat season that goes halfway in and then inevitably gets delayed halfway through the season for 10 more years.

go back tvtropes please.
>>92447642
You say that like this season wasn't already grim and being grim is somehow pulling shit out of the void that never was.
>>92447857
This is Genndy's recurring dream WITH his crush. He wouldn't let his crush die.
>>92448267
But he never got together with his crush, so even if she doesn't die they're probably not getting together kn the end
>>92448382
Well it is his fantasy story and all the hints point towards them both wanting a relationship (Jack just is afraid to lose her to Aku)
>>92444622
Maybe he wasn't, but Ashi definitely is under that mask.
>Have no control of any of your body's actions
>your body is fighting the love of your life
>the muzzle around your face subsides long enough for one sentence
>beg him to kill you of his own free will to stop the madness
>he doesn't
>now have to be trapped behind your own eyes watching as you torture the one person on the entire planet who showed you affection
>still muzzled so can't even say comforting words to ease the horrible pain you are both going through
Being Ashi is suffering.
>>92449032
Those large soulless eyes are begging for a waterworks moment in the finale.

I'm kinda glad desu. Punished Jack was one of the best things from this season
jack has actually cried on screen before, this didnt really look like it. maybe the new animators just dont have a good grasp of him yet.
>>92449614
That poor girl.
I hope things work out for her
>>92453503
Nah, I foresee no scenario where Ashi gets a happy ending. Most likely scenario is that she manages to fight Aku's influence or uses her last breath as Jack pierces her with the sword long enough to use Aku's magic against him and tear open a portal to the past for Jack.
>>92446792
This episode felt like fucking heroin withdrawal combined with being kicked in the balls while someone informed me that my dog had died.
>>92449614
Honestly the more I look at Demon Ashi's design, the more I'm convinced it was designed around the idea of tears flowing. It really completes her face would would make for an incredibly powerful scene.
>>92452772
When?
>>92454458
several times. most notable is the episode when he ends up in japan and has flashbacks to his childhood.
>>92454458
oh he also cries in the episode when hes possessed by aku, and cries in the comics.
>>92446880
gotta get blacked
>>92444622
Possibly. The only time I can think of when he actually cried was when he found the ruins of his kingdom, and at that time he was alone.
>>92449032
Kind of a laser guided perfect torture for her, too, having her will stripped away and used as a weapon.
